There are faces in the cliffs
Smiling down as we float by
There are faces way up high
We share the earth, water, and sky
Now we will walk
Where man has walked before
Let not talk
What man has talked before
This river’s got hopes
This river’s got dreams
This river’s got no chance
Of making the sea
Dirty water down below
Turn on your tap It’s in your home
Dirty water down below
Through your veins into your soul
This river’s got hopes
This river’s got dreams
This river’s got no chance
Of making the sea
So wash your car
Make sure your lawn is lookin’ green
‘Cause this river’s got no chance
Of making the sea
Dirty water down below
Turn on your tap It’s in your home
Dirty water down below
Through your veins into your soul

June

I knew a girl named June
I met her last August
When she began to bloom
She began to bloom
She was 19, prom queen, didn’t need no king
Didn’t need me
That was quite clear
Clear enough to see
All of her friends moved away
Somewhere
She stayed right there, same clothes to wear
Didn’t have no cares
She sat beneath trees, sang songs about bees
Sang about me
If you asked she wouldn’t tell
She wouldn’t come clean
Spring doesn’t sprint
Winter hardly quits
Fall softly hits
But Summer
Oh June
Now she’s gone she’s moved on
For the city
To find herself she said
Honestly
I go to the tree, hoping she’ll find me
In the breeze
She nowhere in the leaves
Nowhere to be seen
Spring doesn’t sprint
Winter hardly quits
Fall softly hits
But Summer
Oh June

Uh-Oh #3

Uh-oh where do you go
Little girl of mine
Uh-oh where do you go
Little girl of mine
I don’t even want to know
Where you go after dark
You haven’t really been around
Like you were at the start
Uh-oh where do you
Little girl of mine
Is that whiskey on your breath
Please do tell
It better be from Kentucky
Or you can go to hell
Uh-oh where do you go
Little girl of mine
I would like to say
I wish you would stay
Lay your head down
Next to me
Let me pretend
It’s all okay
Now the rain pourin’ down
On my head
No one here to share my love
Or to share my bed
Uh-oh where do you go
Little girl of mine
I would like to say
I wish you would stay
Lay your head down
Next to me
Let me pretend
It’s all okay
I was hopin’ and prayin’ too
That I was wrong
Now I know it’s just a matter of time
‘Till Baby you are gone
Uh-oh where do you go
Little girl of mine
Uh-oh where do you go
Little girl of mine

Melody in Bones
03:23
|
|||
I need to listen now
to the birds
Inside of all the chirpin’
I think I hear some words
I need to spend some time
With the ants
Get on my hands and knees and give
All of them a chance
I’ve slowly found
Truth in stones
Pleasure in my moans
Melody in bones
I need to free myself
From my own head
If I spend another week in here
I will end up dead
I’ve slowly found
Truth in stones
Pleasure in my moans
Melody in bones
I need to pass around
All my love
Wrap it up in paper
And give it just because
I’ve slowly found
Truth in stones
Pleasure in my moans
Melody in bones
I need to listen now
To my bones
All these rhythms keep me warm
Shivering alone
I’ve slowly found
Truth in stones
Pleasure in my moans
Melody in bones

Big Blue
04:12
|

In words there’s lies
Those clouds hide skies
So blue
In love there’s truth
I ain’t got no proof
But I got you
If I was me
I’d sit below a great big tree
And sing all day
If you were you
There’d be no need for school
You could run away
You’re right I’m wrong
I’m weak your stong
Or so you claim
Why can’t we feel
We’ve lost what’s real
What a shame
If you were you
You wouldn’t be no
Great big fool
You’d love me
If I was me
I’d love you ‘till eternity
Or so I'd try
In words there’s lies
Those clouds hide skies
So blue
In love there’s truth
I ain’t got no proof
But I got you

Flood
02:02

Why do you still call me by that name?
Why do you still call me by that name?
After all that rain you think I’m still the same
Thought I knew you until the great big flood
Thought I knew you until the great big flood
Turns out you were weaker, weaker than the mud
I’ve seen no rainbow now that the water's gone
I’ve seen no rainbow now that the water's gone
I’ll take that as a sign I’m movin’ on
Why do you still call me by that name?
Why do you still call me by that name?
After all that rain you think I’m still the same

Chickens in the Trees
02:26

There’s chickens in the trees my darlin
There’s chicken’s in the trees my son
They’ve been there since 3
They’re shakin’ at their knees
I wonder what they’re seein’ up from up there
There’s horses in the kitchen my darlin’
There’s horses in the kitchen my son
They’ve been there since 4
They’ve locked all the doors
I wonder what they’re cookin’ up in there
There’s a pig on the tractor my darlin’
There’s a pig on the tractor my son
He’s been there since 5
Where’d he learn to drive
I wonder what he’s plowin’ out there
There’s a rooster in the cellar my darlin’
There’s a rooster in the cellar my son
He’s been there since 6
He’s still lickin’ his lips
I wonder what he’s drinkin’ down there
There’s a cow in the outhouse my darlin’
There’s a cow in the outhouse my son
She's been there since 7
I ain’t goin’ smellin’
I wonder what she’s readin’ in there
